How to make this egg roll in a bowl recipe
Thanks to Mann’s Broccoli Cole Slaw, the prep time on this egg roll in a bowl recipe is spent shaking together your sauce, chopping your ginger and mincing your garlic.
- combine soy (or liquid aminos), honey (or monk fruit sweetner) and apple cider vinegar and shake to combine.

- make a space in the middle and sautee the garlic and ginger in the sesame oil

LOVED IT!!!! I made some white rice with it and mixed a small portion in to make it a bit more filling and it was so good!! I used ground turkey instead of pork. Definitely going to make it again with different proteins.

Im a full time – 40 hour a week body technician and cook for my family. I have 4 kids , all under the age of 7; planning meals can be a huge challenge. I have been reading over your website for tips and tricks on how to meal prep and I am just in awe! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills.
I am blessed just to be able to know this site. 👍🏻

Judy
I am the only one at home that will eat something like this is it possible to freeze some portions? Thank you for the good recipes
Denise
Hi Judy! It is possible to freeze this recipe, be warned that the veggies will be softer when you thaw but it is still tasty!
Amy
I made this today for meal.prep for work lunches. It is so delicious.! My 11 year old approved too
Denise
Woo hoo! So happy to hear that even you 11 year old loved. Thanks so much for reporting back, Amy!
Annie
There are no words for how much we love this recipe—I’ve made it with ground chicken and ground turkey, countless times. Thank you SO much for sharing it with the world!
Tonight, I made this in 10 minutes (for real, I timed myself). Cranked the heat up to high to warm the pan while I gathered the ingredients (I use ginger in a tube and pre-chopped garlic, I use to judge but it’s such a timesaver, shrug). Tossed in the chicken, turned the heat down and followed the instructions.
We like to top with crispy wonton strips. Sometimes I double the slaw and we get 6 1-cup lunches.
I’m just an awe over this quick and DELICIOUS recipe! Thank you!
Annie
I forgot to give you 5 stars—I’m so sorry!!!

Denise
Hi Erica, I’m so happy to hear you’ve enjoyed this recipe! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. Love your additions 🙂
Heather Russell
One of the first recipes I tried from Sweet Peas and Saffron, absolutely love it! We prefer savory, so I reduce or omit the sweetener and added crushed red pepper. I’ve probably made this a dozen times now – with turkey, pork, ground beef – using the broccoli slaw, or frozen veggies or shredded Brussels sprouts. Using the veggie shortcuts the whole meal comes together in 30 minutes or less. We serve with rice or on its own.
Denise
Wow wow wow! I’m so happy to read your review, Heather! Thank you for taking time out of your day to leave it 🙂
Colleen
This is a staple in my home. I have to make double batches of it. My duaghter’s Friend comes over every Sunday with her containers and I have to make enough for me and my family and her. This is the best recipe (outside of the curried chicken).
Denise
I’m so happy to hear this, Colleen! What a kind thing for you to do! <3
Kim Fiorucci

Kelsey
This sounds delicious! Any suggestions for a side to serve with it?
Denise
Hey Kelsey! We normally serve this as a full meal in and of itself. I suppose you could serve it with a side? I can’t think of one off the top of my head, but here’s my side dish category to have a look https://sweetpeasandsaffron.com/category/appetizers-and-snacks/
Cassandra
Absolutely delicious. Everyone had extra and fought over the leftovers. Add extra garlic and ginger – can’t go wrong!
Denise
So happy to hear this! Thanks for reporting back, Cassandra!
Shellie
Wondering if this is Keto approved?
Denise
I believe it is, however I am not a keto expert.
